/*
 * We do NOT call the regular C-library "abort" function, even
 * though that would have alerted us to the fact that this is
 * an abnormal termination, because it would automatically cause
 * a core file to be generated. On large systems, that can be
 * overwhelming (imagine a few thousand Gbyte-sized files hitting
 * a shared file system simultaneously...ouch!).
 *
 * However, this causes a problem for OpenRTE as the system truly
 * needs to know that this actually IS an abnormal termination.
 * To get around the problem, we create a file in the session
 * directory - we don't need to put anything in it, though, as its
 * very existence simply alerts us that this was an abnormal
 * termination.
 *
 * The session directory finalize system will clean this file up
 * for us automagically. However, it needs to stick around long
 * enough for our local daemon to find it! So, we do NOT call
 * session_dir_finalize here!!! Someone will clean up for us.
 *
 * In some cases, however, we DON'T want to create that alert. For
 * example, if an orted detects that the HNP has died, then there
 * is truly nobody to alert! In these cases, we pass report=false
 * to prevent the abort file from being created. This allows the
 * session directory tree to cleanly be eliminated.
